Washington, DC (2024) – The National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), founded in 1944 by Marty Mann, a trailblazer in addiction recovery advocacy, proudly announces the launch of its “80 for 80” campaign. This celebratory initiative invites supporters to honor NCADD’s monumental 80th anniversary by contributing $80 or more, symbolizing each year of progress in the fight against addiction.
For eight decades, NCADD has been a leader in raising awareness about addiction as a public health issue, providing education, prevention, and support for recovery. Marty Mann envisioned a world where understanding and compassion replaced stigma and silence, and her legacy continues to guide NCADD’s work today.
A Campaign of Reflection and Renewal
The “80 for 80” campaign is both a tribute to the past and a commitment to the future. Each $80 donation not only commemorates NCADD’s achievements but also fuels its vital programs that save lives, support families, and build healthier communities.
